Sam Cousen, Dermalogica specialist & therapist at Vita, tries the NEW Rapid Reveal Peel.
Here at Vita we have literally been counting down the minutes to get our hands on this brand new product from Dermalogica. Just when you thought Dermalogica couldn’t possibly bring out another product that would blow your mind....bang! They did it again!
Introducing the new rapid reveal peel, the most amazing and exciting new product launch this year. I have been Lucky enough to get my hands on it and today I would like to show you how it works and all the amazing benefits it has for your skin. A simple skin peel you can do in the comfort of your own home.
My first impressions - First of all the packaging is genius. I love how the packet has a suction cap so it’s handy to pop on a bathroom mirror and just looks super fancy. Also a cheeky reminder to use it, “just incase you forget”. Actually remembering to do things is one of the set backs with skin care, so I definitely appreciate the design of the packaging.
The pack comes with 10 single tubes, containing the right amount for the entire face, neck and chest if preferred. A handy tip though, I found one tube was too much and I loved how they designed the lid so that once you remove it you can turn the lid upside down and reseal.
I would say to be extra careful when pouring out the product as it’s very liquid in consistency and I nearly lost half of it in the bath. Thank goodness I had my spare other half from the previous evening. So when pouring just use a little bit at a time and try not to completely empty it into your hands. I recommend using your fingertips for an easier application.
You should start to feel a slight tingling sensation within minutes of applying onto the skin. You will find certain areas where your skin is more sensitive tingle slightly more. For me, when I used this product, I felt a heat sensation like my cheeks where really warm. It wasn’t uncomfortable but it definitely felt like a professional peel which took me by surprise as this is one to do at home. Remember ladies this is an action sensation from the peel not a reaction! Mostly the heat was coming from my chin and mouth area which is currently congested from stress and just normal woman’s time of the month. I was really happy to see after I had done the course, just how clear my skin was. So not only is this product great for anti ageing it’s also great for blemishes.
The advice is to leave this product on the skin for 2-7 mins but straight off I went for the full 7. If you think your skin is sensitive and you’re not used to active ingredients, I would only recommend you leave on for 2-5 mins. Build your tolerance up first before going straight in. I would recommend you remove with a cold cloth as any more heat to the skin can irritate. I made the mistake of using this product in the bath and I definitely noticed a difference after using a cold cloth to remove the next time I used it.
Use one tube a week for 10 weeks or jump start your skin and use 3 tubes one a day for 3 days then after that back to your one a week. Please be aware, I wouldn’t advise you use any retinal products on your skin while using this product just incase it increases skin sensitivity. Also I wouldn’t recommend using this after a professional peel in a salon unless you wait a few days.
Results - So my results so far has been amazing and I’m super happy with how my skin feels and looks. I have also noticed a difference with how my make up feels smooth on my face and I feel like my skin has a brighter complexion. I have had a lot of comments recently about my skin and it’s all down to this peel. I’m honestly blown away at how good it is and how well it’s worked for me.
Who is it for? - The rapid reveal peel is for anyone who is suffering with ageing or prematurely ageing skin. Also any acne sufferers or someone like myself - I want to prevent ageing as I hit 30 next year and I am a massive skin lover. I want to make sure I keep my skin fresh and glowing like it was in my early 20s. I also want to keep those blemishes at bay and this has definitely made a difference. I would also say this is a brilliant product for a special occasion like if a bride has her wedding day approaching, this would be ideal to kick start that glowing skin for the big day. But remember it’s a powerful product and contains active ingredients so please be aware and wear a spf 50 at all times while using this product.
How much is it? - £79 - Contains 10 peels.
